Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) lemon pie filling or 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (adjust sweetness if using fresh juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of your lemon bars later.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and lemon pie filling or lemon juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring even flavor throughout.
  3. Pour Into Pan and Bake: Pour your lemon mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm.
  4. Cool Completely: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool to room temperature. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the bars to firm up before slicing.
  5. Slice and Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut the lemon bars into squares or rectangles. Serve as is or garnish to your liking!

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to blend more easily and evenly for a smooth texture.
  • Choose good quality lemon pie filling to enhance natural flavors and reduce artificial aftertaste.
  • Don’t overbake to keep the bars soft and creamy rather than dry or crumbly.
  • Chill thoroughly in the fridge for firm texture and easy slicing.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper or grease well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
